TWI High Idle Current PAN 89

[Dave_couling]

Hi guys, I'm trying to nail down this TWI issue. PAN 89 is related to TWI being used in conjunction with the GPIOTE module. However I manually wrote my own application level code to interface to the nrf_drv_twi code. So I'm not 100% sure it applies to my situation. I do use GPIOTE in a separate freeRTOS thread for interrupt sensing. Also if I comment out that GPIOTE code, there isn't a hugh effect on my idle current. Also tested with and without TWI EasyDMA.

After I place my MPU9250 in low power wake up mode, the device idles at ~600uA.

I've added the suggested code in PAN 89 and I uninit the TWI Sensor Comms when in low power. However this added code seems to have no effect. I use TWI1

void disable_sensor_comms()
{
	nrf_drv_twi_uninit( &m_twi );
	*(volatile uint32_t *)0x40004FFC = 0;
	*(volatile uint32_t *)0x40004FFC;
	*(volatile uint32_t *)0x40004FFC = 1;
}

Do you also use timers and/or SPI? The PAN is actually not limited to TWI and GPIOTE only, as I mentioned here the other day.

I've found that the SAADC module is directly affect by the TWI module. If both are initialized then the uninit() workaround on the TWI doesn't work. If I don't use SAADC it is fine however.

I had to manually unint() the SAADC module, even though i'm using SDK12.3.0 and have enabled the low_power feature.

How about if you only use the SAADC and TWI?

Are you using the DCDC converter?

[Dave_couling]

Yes, the bug still persists. I am using the power management module, nrf_pwr_mgmt_run(); but not directly enabling the DCDC

[Dave_couling]

Could the PWM driver also influence this bug?
